Yesterday I had my DVD/CD rom drive die on me and I took my Cube in to have it replaced. Today I brought it home and when I rebooted I got one of these panics after running about 35 seconds, repeatedly, thru' half a dozen reboots. I spent most of the afternoon getting rid of this, and finally did lose it by doing a new install of OS X 10.2.3 from Installer CD and then upgrade to 10.2.4. I've rebooted about 3 times since then, just to see if it would stick and all seems to be well.
